ASSEMBLY BILLS—SECOND READING FILE
GOVERNOR’S VETOES
To the Members of the California State Senate:
I am returning Senate Bill 301 without my signature.
This bill would require the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to establish the Zero-Emission Aftermarket Conversion Project (ZACP) to provide an applicant with a financial rebate for converting a gasoline- or diesel-fueled vehicle into a zero-emission vehicle (ZEV).
California is showing the world what's possible - fostering innovation and creating space for an industry to flourish as the sale of ZEVs reach record highs, with over 1.8 million ZEVs now on California's roads. The state continues to invest billions of dollars in ZEV deployment and supporting infrastructure to achieve our ambitious climate and clean air goals.
While I share the author's desire to further accelerate the state's transition to ZEVs, this bill creates a new program at a time when the state faces a $44.9 billion shortfall for the 2024-25 fiscal year. Additionally, there is no funding currently identified or available in the state budget to support this new program.
For these reasons, I cannot sign this bill.
Sincerely,
Gavin Newsom
2024Jun. 14Shall Senate Bill 301 become a law notwithstanding the objections of the Governor? (Must be considered pursuant to Joint Rule 58.5.)

SPECIAL CONSENT CALENDAR #44
SB 1063, as it passed the Senate, required a public school, including a charter school, or a private school, that serves pupils in any of grades 7 to 12, inclusive, and that issues pupil identification cards, which existing law requires to have printed on either side the telephone numbers for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and the National Domestic Violence Hotline, to additionally have printed on either side of those cards, commencing July 1, 2025, the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for mental health resources on the internet website of the county in which the school is located. SB 1063, as it passed the Senate, authorized the above-described schools to replace any required information on the pupil identification cards, in whole or in part, with quick response (QR) codes that link to the information being replaced.
The Assembly amendments remove these provisions and instead, among other things, require the above-described schools to, commencing July 1, 2025, print on either side of the pupil identification cards the telephone number for the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline instead of for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, and also authorize these schools to print on either side of those cards a QR code that links to the mental health resources on the internet website of the county in which the school is located.
